The key words here are "matters" and "need".

I bought the car I have today because driving my small 4 door hatchback was no longer a feaseable endeavour when wanting to move the entire family all at once. It was an objective need, not something it mattered.

You can reply I didn't need to get a family or the dogs. You're right. But that actually mattered to me, regardless if it was an objective need.

    As I said, I'm in the same spot.

    My point is that 99.9% of large car owners have what to them seems like an objective need. Humans are super good at justifying our actions, especially to ourselves
